Here you go!

No reply. You'd be wasting your precious breath on these people who don't deserve it.

Peanate · 08/08/2013 21:05

My vote would be to reply - even for just the simme purpose of keeping this saga going!

As for a stealth confetti post - I'm in the wrong timezone to keep it up, and there are many gifted wordsmiths on here who would do a much better job!

DSJamesHathaway · 08/08/2013 21:10

No further replies needed. You've explained your position to both of them and if they choose not to listen/misunderstand that's their choice. If you reply again it will look like you are obsessed about it and there is nothing new you can add that will make them see sense.

SarahAndFuck · 08/08/2013 21:15

I vote no reply.

But anonymously post a Sylvanian figure to Gluezilla

MoonlightandRoses · 08/08/2013 21:21

Really, really don't reply (no matter how much we want you to...).

CoffeeOne · 08/08/2013 21:36

Don't reply. You've already said everything that needs saying. She needs to have a good hard think about what she's done and what she's lost.

CSIJanner · 08/08/2013 21:40

Do not reply.

Although having said that, you'll probably get a text or an email at some point either begging for help before the wedding, or ripping into you for leaving Glue in the lurch afterwards

shellbot · 08/08/2013 22:02

I wouldn't but then I think they'll be contacting you nearer the time of the wedding to see if you've changed your mind.

WhereYouLeftIt · 08/08/2013 22:11

I am torn between 'no reply' and BalloonSlayer's suggested response (Tue 06-Aug-13 18:22:59).

nemno · 08/08/2013 22:11

I wouldn't reply. No good can come from it.

Treaguez · 08/08/2013 22:22

You don't need to reply. Your position is not ambiguous! They have no right to lay this at your door, in fact I think they might be winding you up now.

KurriKurri · 08/08/2013 22:24

Am I the only one thinking that the 20 uninviteds need to get together and have their own mahoosive party on the day of the wedding?

Basically you are all Liberty X to her Hear'say and thus much cooler.
You could even drop Gluezilla note asking if she'd stop in and decorate your venue on the way to her wedding Grin

member · 08/08/2013 22:29

No reply, you've devoted enough headspace as it is. Gluezilla being upset because she is stuck is not your problem. You can't educate pork...

magimedi · 08/08/2013 22:38

Much as I would, slefishly, like you to reply to keep this amazing saga going, I think that not replying is the more graceful way to go.

wharrgarbl · 08/08/2013 22:54

I like poorbuthappy's response. This bint would have exhausted my supplies of politesse quite some time ago.

Look you rude cow, uninviting people is on a par with giving back presents. You need to get a grip, not ask huge favours. Fuck off.

bookforgoddaughter · 08/08/2013 22:56

Went to Confetti to leave a reverse thread from Gluezilla's point of view but sobered up while still registering. Felt a little bit mean, and even sympathetic to their wedding worries. It suddenly hit me that I was a little bit bridezilla over my CP. Oh dear. I will get my coat.

BlackeyedSusan · 08/08/2013 23:06

another vote for no reply, despite hoping for more from gluezilla. never mind.

PureDeadBrilliant · 08/08/2013 23:11

You have to reply. They still think you are in the wrong and unreasonable!

Mimishimi · 08/08/2013 23:20

No reply. Leave them hanging. Replying will make them think you give a damn and can still be persuaded. "I'm sorry you feel that way" is really a way to say they think you are being childish and unreasonable. You don't need to convince them of their error, they won't be reasoned with to think otherwise.

MintyChops · 08/08/2013 23:28

Reluctantly I agree, don't reply but please let us know if they get back in touch.....

clam · 08/08/2013 23:50

I agree. Leave it. You've said all there is to be said on the subject; she's clearly not going to acknowledge how badly she's behaved and nor, really, is her sister.

Move on.

georgedawes · 09/08/2013 08:02

Don't reply, but you've not heard the last from them. My money is on a phone call from the mother of the bride.

VegasIsBest · 09/08/2013 08:22

Although it would be entertaining for us, no reply is the best option. There is no point in trying to get them to see your point of view. If there was any hope of this GZ wouldn't have behaved so badly in the first place. You know you're in the right and that's all that matters here.

YellowDinosaur · 09/08/2013 08:26

Sadly, although I'd love you to reply for my ongoing entertainment, no reply is the best option at this point. There isn't anything to say that hasn't been said and if they don't get it now they never will.

RenterNomad · 09/08/2013 08:34

No reply.

  1. It's too late, and ypu will look as though you want to be courted (ugh)

  2. They don't deserve a response, yet not getting one will annoy GZ.

  3. You will likely hear from them anyway. SOMEONE will be hearing from GZ about this every day, most likely her sister and unfortunate husband to be.
